    Karma or Fate?

    Last weekend my buddy and I were out duck hunting in the Delta near Antioch, CA. We were in my 12' Valco with a 9.9 Merc 2 stroke. I had just replaced the impeller (with the help of iboats.com forum--thank you) and the engine ran very well the whole day. As the sun set we packed up and headed...

    Can I swap the 9.9 carb with a 15 HP carb and goose up the HP in my 1999 Mariner 9.9 4 stroke 323 cc? I have read several other forums regarding this but they were all related to Mercury (not much difference I know).

    Motorized Anchor

    I obtained a 10HP four stroke on a boat I purchased from my step father. It was supposed to be a back-up motor for a 21' tri-hull. The first time he tested it, it broke itself off the improvised motor bracket (the swim step) and went into the drink (San Francisco Bay) :mad:. He had a safety...

    Mercury 9.8 konked out

    I have a Mercury 9.8 / 110. I was having a cooling problem, but thanks to other posts in this forum I figured out it was the impeller. Being a former US Air Force Helicopter mechanic, I found it a very simple 15 minute job and everything worked great after the fix. The next day, I was out duck...
